Financial Highlights
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Ajax Engineering reported a total revenue of ₹2,103 crore, reflecting stable performance in a tough macro environment. During the fourth quarter (Jan-Mar 2026), revenue stood at ₹758 crore, consistent with ₹756 crore in the same period last year. Profit after tax for the fourth quarter improved to ₹95 crore from ₹91 crore in Q4 FY25.
Operational Performance and Margins
The company successfully navigated transitions between emission standards, specifically the shift from CEV-IV to CEV-V, which impacted production costs throughout the year. In Q4, EBITDA grew by ~4% year-on-year to ₹115 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding by 40 basis points to reach 15.1%. This margin improvement was driven by disciplined execution, cost optimization, and calibrated pricing strategies.
Segment Growth and Outlook
During the fiscal year, non-SLCM revenue recorded 7% growth, while the Spares and Services segment saw an increase of 9%, underscoring the company’s push toward a more resilient revenue mix. By the end of FY26, the company reclaimed a 73.5% market share in the SLCM segment.
Strategic Vision
Management remains focused on maintaining its premium market position while capitalizing on the ongoing shift toward mechanized construction. Looking forward, the company intends to scale its non-SLCM business through deeper market penetration and continued operational discipline. The long-term growth outlook remains positive, supported by sustained demand for infrastructure development and the increasing adoption of high-efficiency concreting equipment.
